Oh! 800m World champion and Olympic silver medalist Marco Arop won the Back Half the Marathon Huntsville, Alabama in 1:11:16.

He’s been running about 30 miles per week.

Feels like Strava needs to make it more obvious that my friends are not traveling around the world cycling in a different city every morning

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if your Turkey Trot was not on the World Athletics calendar, you actually did not race this morning.

I’m skipping the turkey trot this year to maintain the illusion of still being the fastest person in my hometown

Taking this as shots fired but admittedly this was a very funny week

Can’t a guy double his mileage in peace without being asked what he’s training for? It might just be a mid-life crisis or bad lighting in the bathroom mirror

Track: Ease into it and aim for a negative split with a big close

XC: Sprint as hard as you can for the first kilometer and slowly die

Coach Diljeet Taylor is really just so good at coaching and I’m convinced she must not have the same 24 hours in a day as the rest of us

What’s the bigger challenge for most: the training or race pattern?

One of the most overlooked prospects has to be Samuel Ogazi of Nigeria. In his freshman year at Alabama, in the 33rd race of the season! — he runs a PB to make the Olympic final.

Love that the World Champion is making her 1500 debut in Kingston! I can think of some other recent 800 meter runners that moved up in distance and thrived…

Daryll has been winning Olmypic and World medals since 2016 but is low key just getting started 💪🏾

Considering her consistency at both 100 and 200, don't be surprised if she wins a couple of the SLAMs in the short sprint group 👀
